A Pine Resort.
A Portland syndicate has secured
projxjrty directly across the river
from this city and propose to erect
n fine hotel and summer resort.
Plans are being prepared for build
ings to cost in the neighborhood of
$25,034. Kverything will be of
the most modem and up-to-date
style. New York parties will have
the management of the place, nud
will conduct it in n style equal to
some of the famous suburban re
sorts of the great metropolis. The
management will put 011 n ferry
boat to ply between that point nud
this city. This enterprise will
mean ti great deal for St. Johns in
the way of transient trade. A boat
will also be run to and from Port
land. The location will be on the
Springvale townsite, and will be
known as the "Willows," so we
are informed.
Work was commenced on the
hotel Wednesdny, and efforts will
be made to have the place opened
for business about June first.
